Hey Guys!
 
I'll be posting Monk VCR Reports down below in spoiler tags along with their dates, for view and feedback.
 
07/14/14 Report - Yllavyre

As this is my first report, I chose suggestions that the community unanimously agreed upon. I'll be continuing to listen to community feedback for suggestions the majority of players like, and will incorporate those into future reports. I also included and researched some known bugs to continue Term 1's Monk VCR's work.

 

Spoiler

Class Issue Summary:
The majority of the community has expressed the need for bug fixes and desire for alterations with specific skills.

 

Popular Suggestions:
Popular suggestions I have compiled are listed below:

• Lightning Crush Alteration - Reduce Cool Down and change to hit 10-targets at any skill level.

• Crushing Blow Alternation - Remove Crushing Blow's DoT Effect and replace it with Debuff that stacks up to 5 times, lowering enemy's defenses. Or, fix the DoT damage formula and increase the DoT damage.

• Increase Threat Gain - Monks gain considerable threat against almost every class, except swordsman classes. Battle tactics makes it impossible to out-threat Warriors or Knights who have gotten Aura Armor but do not intend to Tank. Currently, a monks only focus is the tank role and should never have to suffer threat problems versus any other class. A 50% to 100% increase to threat gain while in Steel Body is favorable, and/or increased threat on specific skills.

• Flee - Change this to anything more useful. Favorable suggestions include; increase the dodge rate bonus with an included high chance to reflect damage back to the enemy. Another suggestion is to change the name and make it a Party Buff that decreases damage from enemies, increases defense, or increases regeneration speed for health and mana (similar but smaller to a Sorcerer's Water Emblem skill).

• Display Inner Energy - Display each point of Inner Energy as a floating sphere around the character.

 
Priority Fixes:

• Lightning Walk
  Lightning walk is warping the character to random places on the map and killing them when they fall from a high place. This happens pretty frequently in the War of Emperium map and Prontera.

• Monk's Damage in DWF
  Monk Damage seems to be significantly low compared to other classes in DWF. Examples include Max Skilled Guillotine Fist only dealing between 10k to 25k damage, Max Skilled Lightning Crush doing 3k-4k in critical damage, 1k-2k in non-critical damage.

• Guillotine Fist Damage
  Guillotine Fist damage is not increasing with increased or added attack power.

• Fix Taunts
  When using a taunt skill, there is about a 95% chance the taunt will not work if the target it is attacking is standing completely still. The only way around a taunt working on a mob that is already attacking a person, is to taunt when the person moves and while the mob chases after that person.

    Mute Sound before playing.

• Fix DoT Damage Formulas
  Ever since the Damage over Time (DoT) skill nerf due to Ranger's Multishot, we have not seen a fix. Every class was effected and all class DoTs, minus Crescentia's skills and Priest's skills, are greatly underpowered and nearly useless. It's a waste of skill points for certain classes to distribute points into any attacks with DoT damage. For our Monk class, Crushing Blow's DoT damage (skill lvl 1) does 30 damage on the lowest side, to 80 damage on the absolute highest side.

 

General Feedback:
In absolute honesty, the community welcomes and would be elated to receive bug fixes before new content.

 

Change Feedback:
Intimidation (monk taunt skill) bug not working with Summon Spirit Sphere (monk CD reset skill) appears to have been resolved, will further investigate this.

 

 

07/14/14 Report - Niiu

Spoiler

Class Issue Summary:

Since the last updates have had some problems that remain in the monk, which vary from its time characterized until the skill.

In this statistics would focus on a 50-50 on the part of the players that dealing with this class, with this it should be borne in mind that the monk as one of the class Tank (or Off Tank) should not occur in the following areas:

Party, Raids, Duel, 5vs5, Colo, WoE.

Said another way, few players focus in this class (a group by the defense, G-First / Heavy Tackle, and another by fact that he likes the class as it is).

This being equal to accounts that have been consulted as far as posible to the players on the suggestions and criticism of the monk and is given to common points that we have several.

 

Popular Suggestions:

There have been a few popular suggestions given the amount of players still playing this class. From my case and a few others, Monk.

1. Lightining Walk (Level 5/5); Regarding your fingertips against the enemy, there are still situations in which the skill is bug (teleports to another location within the map).

2. Lightining Crush (Level 6/6); Regarding your CD, damage, scope (in terms of number of enemies), Balance of Threat.

3. Evasion/Flee; Send Buff to use Party / Raids (for –dmg% from enemies).

4. Heavy Tackle (Level 5/5); Regarding the scope of enemies.

5. Intimidation (Level 5/5); Regarding the scope of enemies.

6. Summon Spirit Sphere (SSS) (Level 5/5) Bug of Cast Speed in Skills, Regarding your CD.
 

Priority Fixes:

1.As mentioned in the suggestions.
2.Gear having Cast Speed – This stat is most likely confused with another class that uses a similar stat system with INT and STR being.
 

General Feedback:

Please work on our skill bugs for the players that use the class do not have problems in the various areas of RO2.

wow! i like this report. I'm also confuse about having castspeed in our gears though. maybe its a below level 50 gears? 

 

It would be really helpful if our G-fist has 40-50CD than 60sec, all other 3 tank class has 20sec only. + vigor, they have 12-15sec and we have 46sec.

 

most class now specially the DPS(not just priest) suppose to be squishy but now has a 75% defense(+20gears) and now, they are asking for more defense(saw this from other VCR report). We should have that skill like armor rip thing. What are they thinking? We can heal and restore our HP with a single cast like they do? or a spammable G-fist?

In the second point, I was referring to those gear under lvl50, but this has already been resolved by the seen lately.
 

In the other reports it is understood that seek to improve and/or balance the stats, we on the other hand we have to balance the damage and resistance, and what influence to do this, well you know what it is to express in the report.

We have ability to regenerate HP, yet some critics have said that it is rather slow and very low, but others consider this appropriate, because the monk has fed up with advantages and should at least have one that another disadvantage (as all classes).

 

In my opinion i say that the monk should not be "so" perfect, you must have at least a balance between damage and defense, and in the ability of regeneration of hp must be adequate and not exaggerated.

Yeah stuff like that, and in PvE situations, is why I think a lot people (including myself) really liked the suggestion of:
 

Crushing Blow Alternation - Remove Crushing Blow's DoT Effect and replace it with Debuff that stacks up to 5 times, lowering enemy's defenses. Or, fix the DoT damage formula and increase the DoT damage.

 
Just hope the devs like the idea too and it doesn't end up being stupid OP that people rage if they do add it~

so far i need to use my 2 g-fist to KO that well geared ml 30 dps, we know 1 g-fist not 2 are designed to 1hit any dps class. and they cant argue with that coz monk are hopeless if the g-fist and SSS are in CD. Not to mention if it miss or parry, it will go for nothing vs there OP heal,vit build and +20gears.
